Your right on that Heidi ! My trailer has a rear tack which I love because
it is so handy at home and at ride's. But It does create a bottleneck at
the door , and could very well put you in a dangerous situation with a
young inexperienced horse . Otherwise I belive that my horses haul much
better in the slant compared to a straight load . We haul big trailer loads
of loose horse's to trail heads for pack trips during the summer months and
we've never seen a horse stand as if being hauled in a straight load if
they have a choice .
